why whats airlie going to do to him?





dont worry the taxi is on its way

Its a shame there wasn't 2 "Thacks in court" threads this season then

Baroness Scotland, the country's most senior lawyer found guilty, but does not resign, is not fired, keeps her job!! Criminal record means nothing in this country nowadays.

I must have missed her arrest, prosecution, trial, and conviction. When did all that happen?

As you are well aware,this didn't happen cos there's too much of it happening and the courts and jails are too full.So these Asbo style punishments are just dished out

The two points are mutually exclusive.



Who said I was indicating she had a criminal record?



Methinks you jump to conclusions that are not indicated in the post but are only in your fuddled, cantankerous head.

Or possibly your post was less clear than you think.

You could be right. Maybe it is that I should have used a form of language that would have been understood by the lowest common denominator, but then I may have been accused of dumbing down the discussion.









Well, now you can spend time from your life looking for an opportunity to "catch me out" making a mistake on any subsequent posts I make. (If I make any). Enjoy.

She was not prosecuted but was given a "civil penalty".



A civil penalty is a wheeze thought up by the government to get money out of its citizens without giving them a fair trial. Basically its a tax.



So she hasn't been convicted of anything.



Having said that she broke the law and as the government's most senior law officer you would have thought she should resign or have been sacked.



But of course the rules that apply to the rest of us don't apply to politicians do they?

It's like a fixed penalty traffic offence. Presumably they're taxes too.



And FWIW, it's typical of a politician to break the law and come out and say they've effectively done nothing wrong. She's breached the law of the land and I fully expect the same treatment for a curry house employing an illegal worker that she received, but I'm not going to hold my breath.

No need to become paranoid
